Based on the timing of the votes, I seem to have several dozen accounts that autovote my posts. In my experience at least, auto voters seem to mostly fall into one of three categories:
Those who autovote but check in at least semi-regularly to actually read the post, as evidenced by comments.
Those who “set it and forget it.” Occasionally even an extreme version of this. There’s one still-active account that I get small upvotes from that a few years ago I publicly accused (perhaps unkindly, but not inaccurately) of being a blatant liar and cheat.
The dead. Gone onto their reward, but their stake still votes. I think one of the hard forks made witness votes decay over time, maybe that could be done with autovoting too?
@mahdiyari pls!
I'm planning to do a reset but that won't be coming anytime soon as I'm busy with another project right now. Feedback is welcome as I'm too focused on development and less on chain.
Auto-vote expiration is a great idea. HP/RC Delegation expiration might also be worth implementing.
Why HP/RC Delegation expiration? Just generally curious.
For the same reason witness delegations expire: to ensure active users are the ones engaging with the platform. I could be persuaded delegations are different. I'm just suggesting it as a point to discuss if we're out to prevent moochers and manipulation.
Ye, I got that part.
But some people might have left Hive for good and decided to delegate their stake to a project or something.
And that would be a sound argument. However, it could be addressed with a secondary long-term form of delegation, with a revocation on the timeframe of HP powerdown to prevent abuse. I know, extra dev work for something that may not even need to exist.
Thats a really good idea!
I would say that I am in a 4th bracket.
Votes from me is automated, I follow a project trail to support people within that project. Because, I really don't have any time to upvote and read alot, but I do check-in DAILY and I do read comments and upvote comments manual.
Not sure if it makes a difference xD
